Good Night, Mr. Holmes
Goodnight, Mr. Holmes is a podcast about the Grenada Sherlock Holmes, which ran on ITV in the UK between 1984 and 1994, and ran on Masterpiece Mystery in the US around the same time. Two opinionated Sherlock Holmes fans discuss the Granada Sherlock Holmes series starring Jeremy Brett. Side discussions include, but are not limited to: feminism, colonialism, the ambiguity of war wound locations, continuity or the lack thereof (mostly lack), Harry & Meghan, and Cobra Kai.

Cryptograms! Ciphers! Strange and threatening Americans! In The Dancing Men, Holmes must translate a series of drawings of stick figures that spell out a message of doom for American Elsie Cubitt, the wife of a wealthy English landowner who knew very little about her before marrying her. An episode of men turning themselves into absolute pretzels rather than ask a woman a question.
